Nashville Overview
Renting in the city of Nashville is not like an experience of urban life anywhere else in the world. It’s Music City USA! It offers the unique quality of being a charming small-to-mid-sized rental market with a population of around 700,000 in the city proper and a total of about 1,315,000 in its metro area. On the other hand, it’s now one of the fastest growing cities in the country. Nashville has a very strong employment rate of 97.3% supporting a wide range of industries, including its major employers in tech, county and federal government, education, healthcare, finance, tourism, auto manufacturing, and, of course, music. In other words, job opportunities are abundant here. Nashville features Vanderbilt University and multiple other excellent schools. Living in Music City is highly desirable for students, young professionals, entrepreneurs, aspiring musicians, and families. There are many highly appealing neighborhoods for every renter’s needs and lifestyle choice — and at more affordable rates than in other major U.S. rental markets.
What is the history of Nashville?
Nashville was named in honor of Francis Nash, a hero of the American Revolutionary War. Later, the city made itself forever known as the first in the United States to desegregate its businesses. The city’s breadth of history is otherwise largely one of momentous national and global musical contributions. For example, the first license for FM radio broadcasting was issued to WSM in Nashville in the early 1940s. A radio host, David Cobb, became recognized as the person to characterize Nashville as “music city” and coined that enduring nickname. The city’s historic claims to fame largely feature Elvis Presley’s recordings of over 200 songs in Nashville studios as well as Dolly Parton’s and other industry greats’ recording work in the city.
How is the weather in Nashville?
Expect the typical upper southeastern US climate conditions in Nashville. That means gorgeous spring and fall conditions, with occasional thunderstorms and even tornadoes in the region. Winter temperatures average a comfortable 50 degrees! However, some snow (about 4-8 inches) and ice are predictable in winter. In the hot, humid summers, temperatures normally average well over 80 degrees. That’s ideal for water sports lovers who enjoy such days in any of the area’s countless streams, rivers, and lakes. It’s also just right for all the Nashville residents who enjoy lounging on the hottest days in cozy places with cool beverages and continuous entertainment options. Many of Nashville’s nationally and locally popular festivals are during the summer months. Those include the famous CMA Fest, Let Freedom Sing (4th of July), Nashville Pride, Music in the Vines, the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, and the Full Moon Pickin Party, among others. Just prepare for the heat and humidity and enjoy these incomparable events.
How do I get around town?
You need a car in Nashville, it’s just not very walkable. There also is not enough reliable public transportation to manage all the average resident’s needs. The WeGo Public Transit bus line doesn’t reach throughout the entire metro area and the service may not be fully consistent. So, either consider adding routine Lyft or Uber rides to your weekly expense budget or have a car.
What is the Nashville commute like?
In Nashville, you have some of the world’s best food, entertainment, and attractions, along with a relatively low cost of living. Music City, overall, represents a great lifestyle choice. Just be aware of the increasingly unavoidable rush-hour traffic jams. The airport is on Terminal Drive about 8 miles east of downtown. Broadway is the main cross-town route through the downtown area. It’s also the central entertainment district. From 16th to 17th Avenue it constitutes “music row.” That’s the destination spot for trendy coffee shops, cafés, thrift stores, and retail shops.
Why live in Nashville, TN?
Nashville is a lively city with a strong and growing economy, world-class arts culture, charming southeastern architecture, and great academic opportunities, all in a lush green environment. There is no personal income tax in Tennessee. Nashville rentals and the general cost of living in the area are more affordable than comparably sized urban markets nationwide. The average rent prices in Nashville are very competitive, though they’ve been rising over recent years. Nashville rentals still range upward from cheap apartments at just $500 monthly, including utilities. The median rent across all rental types and sizes from studio units to high-end single-family homes is around $2,150. The area features a great range of employment opportunities across a variety of major industries, from music to manufacturing. Residents of Nashville are surrounded by music, great attractions, world-class food, outdoor fun, and plenteous employment options. Because of this unique combination of benefits for renters in Nashville, there is competition for the best values in property leasing. The Nashville metro area provides the ideal blend of generally safer and simpler living than the more crowded, bigger cities. The city offers plenty of fully-furnished short-term rentals. So, consider staying for a few weeks to confirm the area’s suitability for your interests and needs before moving here.
What Nashville landmarks should I see?
The legendary Nashville music scene features historical venues that trigger a sense of reverence for music lovers upon entering. The extraordinary Grand Ole Opry House is defined by its long series of superstars made famous on its awe-inspiring stage. Other renowned live music venues featured in Nashville’s celebrated history include Ryman Auditorium, The Bluebird Café, Belle Meade Historic Site & Winery, plus others along music row and the greater central entertainment district along lower Broadway. You can visit recording studios where BB King, Dolly Parton, and Elvis himself have recorded. For a fascinating departure from music-related landmarks to monuments of ancient history, Centennial Park features the world’s only replica of the Greek Parthenon.
What is there to do around Nashville?
Nashville apartment residents are living in the environment of a world-famous music scene. It’s a prime destination for live music and nightlife and some of the world’s best cuisine. There are also endless outdoor activities to enjoy in the gorgeous green environment of beautiful Tennessee. The lively bar scene features incredible live music, cheap drinks, ideal casual meeting spots, and fine cocktails at the upper-end establishments. For live music, don’t miss the Tin Roof, Tootsies Orchid Lounge, The Stage on Broadway, Bourbon Street Blues and Boogie Bar, Layla’s Honky Tonk, and others. Get together with friends or coworkers at Acme Feed & Seed, Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row, The Patterson House, Whiskey Bent Saloon, and so many more. For delicious food, don’t miss Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint, Henrietta Red in Germantown, a semi-finalist for a James Beard Award, the renowned Tennessee Whole Hog Bar-B-Que with its unique beer garden, Prince’s Hot Chicken, and Pork Leg Porker BBQ for its award-winning cuisine, The Mockingbird, Southern Steak & Oyster, and many more. There are high-quality coffee shops everywhere you look. Some host musical events. Some are national award winners. Local favorites include the Daily Grind Coffee House, Slow Hand Coffee (and bakery), Humphreys Street Coffee Shop, and others. And, of course, both pro home teams, the NFL Tennessee Titans and NHL Nashville Predators, offer peak excitement for local sports fans.
Where is the best place to move in Nashville?
There are many lovely areas in Nashville to suit virtually any needs and desired lifestyle. Among the most popular neighborhoods for Nashville rentals include 12 South, East Nashville, Midtown, Music Row, Belle Meade, and Germantown, among others. Be sure to research the areas that you determine may be best for you and visit to get a better sense of the community before you move there. Some of the other best neighborhoods offering Nashville rental homes include Hillsboro Village, Downtown Nashville, The Gulch (ideal for young adults), the West End, Melrose, Sobro, 8th Avenue South, Sylvan Park, Belmont Blvd, Forest Hills, Cleveland Park, and others.
